Interview With Khunpinit On Fighting Saenchai and Attachai in the 2000s (English Subs) (Patreon)

Above is my 10 minute interview with Khunpinit, with English translation. (Turn on English Subs by clicking the CC at the bottom right of the video frame.) With the help of patrons we're able to pay for translation of these Thai language interviews, and my Thai has finally gotten strong enough that I feel comfortable in conversation with them. I hope to be doing many more of these. These interviews are free to the public, though supported by patrons.

This is a great spontaneous interview with Khunpinit touching on several interesting topics, not only only his fights with Attachai and Saenchai, but also about his career as a fighter, and the changes he sees in Muay Thai from his days in the 2000s. He's not a fighter I knew about, but he has a beautiful, Southern style power femeu that reminds me of Namsaknoi, also from the South. He talks pretty fast so you might have to watch it more than once!

Sessions in the Library

I hope you enjoy this little insight into this accomplished fighter from the days of Attachai and Saenchai. You can find his session below in the Muay Thai Library below, if you are interested. I'll also put links to Attachai's and Namsaknoi's sessions as well. I think this trinity of fighters show a beautiful combination of powerful, strong bodied, but still quite femeu styles of fighting:

The South produced some of the best fighters in all of Thailand. It seems to have a style that is not only artful, but also full of power. Khunpinit who faces some of the best of his day, fighters like Attachai and Saenchai, teaches through sparring how to change pace and switch between power and finesse.

2x Lumpinee Champion Attachai Fairtex is one of the great femeu fighters of Thailand. Namsaknoi, himself an elite femeu fighter of legendary status called him his most difficult fight as he just was too hard to read. This is a window into that quality, and how to build it.

#73  Namsaknoi Yudthagarngamtorn 2 - Overcoming Distance (61 min) watch it here

The incredible Namsaknoi was one of the rare fighters who melded sheer physical power with femeu touch. In this session you learn how he exploited and explored angles, owned the edge, in a way that left him the king of Lumpinee at his weight in his day.

The Emperor. Fighter of the Year in 1996 and 6 years undefeated as Lumpinee Champion, one of the greatest fighters ever teaches his incredible edge-attacking style. He shows how he is always one step ahead of his opponent, setting them up in a constantly evolving attack.
